PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 548,181, dated October 22, 1895.

Application filed July 1, 1895. Serial No. 554,569. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. CHASE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Canton, county of Stark, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in furrow-plows, the object of which is to provide means whereby the common short-share furrow-plow may be changed to a bar-share plow to adapt the plow for plowing rough and r 5 stony as well as smooth ground.

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a perspective of a well-known form of shortshare furrow-plow. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the plow with landside and share removed. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the bar-share, landside, and cutter attached. Fig. 4. is a side view of cutter. Fig. 5 is a similar view of landside. Fig. 6 is a perspective of bar-share with landside attached.

2 5 A denotes the standard, which is especially adapted to receive and support the interchangeable parts by which the plow may be organized as a short-share furrow-plow or a bar-share plow. The standard is peculiar in this, that in addition to the provision made onwhich the moldboard and short share are secured on the landside of the standard A is provided a recess B to receive the rear extension or bar 0 of the share and a recess D 3 5 to receive the forward extension at of the landsideplate E, the plate E having a downwardly and forwardly projected wing portion 12, that is secured to the bar 0 and standard A. There is also provided on the landside of the standard A an overhung lug c, by which the top end of the cutterF is secured to the standard. In the recess B of the standard areprovided horizontally-elongated apertures d, and in the recess D a similar elongated aperture 6 and corresponding apertures f are provided 5 in the wing portion a of the landside E. In the bar-share and landside is also provided aperture h, that corresponds with the before mentioned, through which bolts are passed to secure the parts to the standard.

G denotes the moldboard, which serves for both forms of plow; H, the short share; J, the short landside; K, the beam; L, the handles, and O, E, and F the interchangeable parts.

Having thus fully described the nature and 5 5 object of my invention, what I claim is- The combination in a plow of a standard, having recesses as B and D, and an over-hung log 0, of the bar share 0, land side E, having a forwardly projected portion a, and downwardly projectedw'ingb, and the cutter F, when arranged, substantially as shown and described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of May, A. D. 1895.
